22 rifle to shoot but we shot the bigger calibers also. I don't recall ever seeing him buying cheap ammo either-he always had boxes and boxes of main line factory ammo. 44 magnum lever gun, a nickle Colt Series 70, and a. 22 pistol, 12 gauge Marlin pump, 12 gauge coach gun, a German K98 Mauser, a Marlin. He had several but I recall Nylon 66s, a Marlin. By the time I was a teen, he brokered a deal with me to help him split firewood in the evenings (especially in November and December) in exchange for shooting time on any/all of his guns. 22 rifle but almost never got it out, whereas my cousin Steve regularly would shoot for fun every few weeks.
He liked to shoot (although we never wore ear protection ) and I loved it when he would bring up guns or shooting. The were the first "plastic" stocks I ever seen or noticed-all others had always been guns of wood and steel. Later I seen how common Nylon 66s were, but initially these were the only ones I'd seen or knew about. One black one had a cheap, dim 3/4" scope on it, and the other was iron sights. He was about 13 years older than me, and has lots of guns-probably 3 of the "Nylon" guns in black and brown. The two letters are right in front of the rear sight along the barrel on the left side of the barrel.I lived near and was really close to an older cousin, who was almost like a "big brother" to me. Light or partial stampings can be confusing. Later production guns had A-prefix serial numbers. Mid-production guns had no-prefix serial numbers. The month codes are B=Jan L=Feb A=Mar C=Apr K=May P=Jun O=Jul W=Aug D=Sep E=Oct R=Nov X=DecĪs you will note, this forms the acronym BLACKPOWDERX, which is easy to remember. There will be two letters, the first being the month, and the second being the year. Thought I'd post these and see who had what, mine is "PG", no serial numbers = June 1960Īctually, the key to manufacture date on your Remington Nylon 66 is not the serial number, but a stamping on the barrel.
